Description

Leader line is used in most catfish rigs to help protect against the abrasive mouths of catfish, rocks, stumps and other items underneath the surface of the water that would cut or damage fishing line. Its extra assurance against losing fish (and tackle). The abrasive mouth of a big catfish alone thrashing on the fishing line can cause fishing line to break so that’s why savvy catfish anglers add a catfish leader line that’s heavier and more abrasion resistant than the main monofilament or braid leader line. Catfish leader line also serves as a “shock absorber” when a catfish strikes. This absorbs the force of aggressive strikes from big catfish. That shock absorption is important with mono and braid but due to the lack of stretch in braided fishing line you should always use a monofilament leader. Whether you’re fishing with traditional hook and sinker rigs or using our rattling catfish lures and rigs you’ll want the added assurance of rigging your catfish rigs the right way with our high performance monofilament leader line. Just like all our other products our catfish leader line is built to meet the specific demands of catfish anglers. A durable high quality monofilament catfish leader line that will hold up to catfish big and small but is also easy to work with so you won’t struggle with knots. Our catfish leader line also it stores easily in our company 50 yard ez-retrieve spools so it won’t become a tangled mess on your boat or tackle box. Whisker Seeker Tackle strong, durable with extra abrasion resistance but still easy to tie for superior knotting ability. Catfish Leader Line Specifications: Single strand nylon mono Ultra-hi abrasion resistance Superior knotting & easy tying Ultra-low memory Clear color Compact 50yd EZ-retrieve spool sizes

Field Notes

Use this leader line when targeting catfish to protect your main line from abrasion caused by catfish mouths and underwater structure like rocks, stumps, and debris. It also acts as a shock absorber during hard strikes, helping reduce line breakage. Pair it with your preferred catfish rig (hook-and-sinker or lure/rig setups) and tie it in with reliable knots.

Pros

  • More abrasion-resistant than typical main line
  • Helps reduce break-offs by acting as a shock absorber
  • Monofilament leader is easier to knot and works well with catfish rigs

Cons

  • Requires proper leader-to-main-line knotting
  • Not a substitute for using the correct rig and hook setup for catfish

The 80# leader is one of the toughest most abrasion resistant leader I have used. Amazing how many fish we catch before having to change our leaders.
